Memorial Program Features GHS Speakers

This year’s Memorial Day program from the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars will feature students from Glasgow High School. They will discuss various American memorials they visited on a recent trip to Washington D.C. The program will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Glasgow Civic Center.

Vietnam era vets are encouraged to sign in at the door to receive pins commemorating their service. Those eligible for the honor have dates of service ranging from Feb. 1961 to May 1975. Veterans from all branches of service are qualified to receive a pin.

The GHS band will provide music, as will the EQ Singers.

Following the event, the VFW will host a potluck beginning at noon at post headquarters on Hwy 2.

Flags will be placed at Highland Cemetery at 9 a.m. on May 27 and taken down at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day. Members of the public are encouraged to lend a hand with the effort.
